Black & Veatch’s Valuable 500 Commitment:
At Black & Veatch, we are committed to fostering, cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion. Black & Veatch’s commitment to building a world of difference through innovation in sustainable infrastructure is also our pledge to ensure a world free of discrimination, bigotry and divisiveness. As a company whose Core Values include Respect, Integrity and Collaboration, we are creating and sustaining a culture that recognizes the innovation and creativity gained from different views and opinions.
Our commitment to disability inclusion is to create an inclusive, accessible workplace that supports persons with disabilities. To see our professionals with disabilities is to re-think our own assumptions of what can and can’t be done. To understand, accept, and normalize our differences, and to overcome our own fears of asking questions, or even starting a conversation.
To achieve this goal, our focus will be on:
-
Developing a better understanding of how many members of our workforce are affected by disability and learn more about their experiences
-
Empowering and supporting our professionals to feel comfortable talking about their disabilities – both visible and invisible
-
Creating a Disability Employee Resource Group to provide resources and support for those touched by disabilities
